Surviving as the Bastard's Brother

After a life of solitude and crime, Ju Won, a Korean software engineer, meets a tragic end in a car accident. But fate has other plans. Reincarnated as Alistair Rowley Coastillon, the infamous villain from a book he once read, Ju Won must navigate his new identity. With his newfound perfect body, piercing red eyes, and raven-black hair, Alistair sets out to forge a new path. But when he receives an unexpected acceptance letter from Wysteria Academy, a prestigious institution for magical elite, despite never recalling the entrance exam.

As an F-ranked mage, Alistair knows his fate is sealed - he's destined to die at the hands of his bastard brother, the S-ranked mage hero. But Alistair also remembers the plot of the novel he's in, and he's determined to change his fate. With the knowledge of the original story, he sets out to defy his destiny and forge his own path.

Will Alistair be able to overcome his predetermined fate and become something more than the villainous character he was meant to be? Or will he succumb to the power of the original story and meet his demise at the hands of his brother?
